Kindle
I believe that the Kindle is worth the price of $359, depending of who’s buying it.If the person buying it is a heavy reader, and knows that they will get a lot of books, then yes, it is completely worth the price.If the person who is buying will only get one or two books, then no, it isn’t worth it to buy a $359 e-book when you can buy the other two for about $20. I think the Kindle can revolutionize education because it can be very valuable to college students.Instead of having to carry around big, heavy books to all of their classes, they can just carry around the small, lightweight Kindle.It can also revolutionize education because none of the books will get worn and torn, they are always in top condition. The prime audience I believe for Kindles are, as I said before, college-bound students, and also anybody in the literary field.Students can use the Kindles instead of carrying massive books around, and people in the literary field probably have many books that would make their lives much easier if they had them in a handheld size. The major advantage Kindle holds over its competitors is that it is the first book-specific device, and it was created with that in mind.The major competitors for the Kindle now are iPhones and iTouchs, and they were built in mind for other uses, with the book part just thrown in as an app.So, the Kindle has better functionality, better screen size, and the buttons are made specifically with book-reading in mind, like turning pages or opening to a specific page. The circumstances that I would buy a Kindle are if they are put on a huge sale, or if I sat down, and calculated that buying a Kindle and all of the books would be cheaper than getting the books themselves.What would keep me away from a Kindle initially is the price, and that sometimes, it just feels better to be holding an actually book in your hands and reading, rather than an electronic device.
